Kodak Instamatic circa 1980. Seems I've always had an eye for boring photographs.

It's a bit 'Raymond Moore'. Although I don't think I knew of his work at the time - or maybe I had seen it somewhere and it seeped in to my subconscious.Perhaps I have weird tastes but i find this photo interesting in a strange kinda way.
It reminds me of some of the work of a local MF 6x6 pro photographer ..... he’s no longer with us but left behind many simple and uncomplicated images such as this.
I bought one of these when I was about 15, we used to ride it round the local gravel pit, I think that’s where it ended upAnyone old enough to remember the Honda C50, one of the best bikes Honda made for city travel and could take a pillion as well....well I had two many moons ago and nearly bought one at the bootie a couple of years ago as it would have been great just poodling along country lanes looking for nice subjects to photo (ATM use a Honda 250 rebel). The guy wanted £100 but didn't trust him (instinct) as it could have been stolen.
Yes, they were definitely a 'coming soon to a bit of waste ground near you' type bike for teenagers once they failed their MOT. The one I used to whizz round a field on was the 70cc version though, those engines had a certain smell to them when they got hot. I learned to drive a car in an MOT failure Austin 1100, up and down a disused railway line on a friends farm. Happy days.I bought one of these when I was about 15, we used to ride it round the local gravel pit, I think that’s where it ended up

It was a long time ago now, but I'm pretty sure it was a C70 step thu moped in maroon and cream.Would it have been the C90, 90cc?

Not the most successful photo, but a nice looking bike in its day (not mine, I hasten to add!). Part of my learning curve as a 16 year old, think what you're doing when using slide film in contrasty light. It obviously didn't stay with me as I still make the same exposure mistakes... hmm, shiny... click!
Thank the magic of photography, not me.One of my first proper motorbikes thanks for sharing this brought some brilliant memories back for me
Quick, move it to the FPOTY category before anyone else sees it!Mamiya C330s, Fomapan 100, processed in a Lab-Box using Cinestill DF96 Monobath. Completely forgot about the parallax error when using the C330 close up.

The Yashica TLR close-up converter lenses adjust for parallax error, so I don't get caught out on the few occasions I use those.
The Voigtlander Superb TLR has built in parallax adjustment, the taking lens tilts the closer you focus, advanced technology for 1933.The Yashica TLR close-up converter lenses adjust for parallax error, so I don't get caught out on the few occasions I use those.

Tried 15 frames and CUT an outdated Fuji NPS 160 i was sent with a lot of film from a member of Pentax User Site, Usually the film had NOT been stored well. This one came out a bit 'dense' after downrating it to 100 ASA so could have used 'Box Speed' == however, the photos have a weird 'Reticulation' effect on them.

Why did you want to use a 'Neutral Density Filter' for those Subjects ?
